Cameron McGeehan scored a second-half brace as Northampton moved into the top half of League One with a comfortable win over AFC Wimbledon at Sixfields. Marcus Browne cancelled out Conor McCarthy's opener in the first half ,but McGeehan struck twice in the space of eight minutes to lift the Cobblers up to 10th. Wimbledon grew in confidence and Alistair Smith hit the crossbar, but the home side took control with a fast start to the second half. McGeehan restored the lead five minutes after the break when he fired home from Jordan Thorniley's chipped ball, and then took down McCarthy's flick-on and netted his second. Smith volleyed wide and Fitzsimons saved with his legs from Browne late on, but Northampton's victory was never in doubt.
